Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014031104A1] One example includes a network device. The network device includes a queue to receive frames from a source, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions causing the processor, after execution of the instructions by the processor, to deposit tokens into a first token bucket at a first rate, determine whether a frame length of a frame received by the queue is less than the tokens in the first token bucket, remove tokens from the first token bucket in response to the frame length being less than the tokens in the first token bucket, and generate a congestion notification message in response to the frame length not being less than the tokens in the first token bucket. Each token represents a unit of bytes of a predetermined size.
